Summary

Tessa Lowell is working in Uganda researching the effects of PTSD and war on child soldiers when she is kidnapped by rebel forces. Isolated in an increasingly volatile situation, she tries to form a bond with 13-year-old Francis, already an experienced soldier and survivor of shocking violence.

In Melbourne, Tessa's parents learn government agencies can do little to help, so they contact their son Stephen, an astute if manipulative businessman based in Cape Town who agrees to search for her but has reasons of his own to do so.

As Tessa's time runs out, her parents arrive in Uganda to hear awful news about what she has endured...and the devastating truth about the kind of man their son has become. Only they have the power to stop a terrible injustice. But at what cost to their family?

Weaves together the personal and the political. The Wolf Hour is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged story that sheds light on the complexities of war and the consequences of our actions. Kept me guessing until the very end and left me haunted by the ethical questions it raises. A captivating and morally complex work that lingers in the mind long after reading

Felt the story lacked a bit for me, maybe due to being cynical of do gooders in the world today. So, your son saves your daughters life, then you criticise him for his methods. How naive can you be, Africa is not Europe and has very different views on things. This book sways from being ‘real’, then drops into simplistic. Finally dwindled into a very unsatisfactory ending.

A little disappointed
